Mireks22,

Spray out your heatsink, this may help. Also if you have a prefab like a Dell, some of their thermal designs are terrible. There are a ton of aftermarket fans with different purposes on www.newegg.com if you want to replace it with something quieter and/or more efficient.

Also consider where you have the machine located, as well as the room temperature. Its starting to heat up a little bit so your machine is going to sound like it is screaming compared to how it is during winter time.

Let me know what you find.

Most CPU fans run all of the time, some are thermostatically controlled for operating speed but still run all of the time.
